Hey man I really would like to continue this argument so I'll apologize for my words back there here where everyone can see it. No harm intended of course. Stop taking it so personally man. Now go ahead adn tear apart my ideas. You are a necessery part of a good argument on this board lately.
I just cant see why you think its allright for you to get a few jabs in and cant take anything when its coming back at you. I'll try to keep it to a minimum as to not offend your sensitive personality. Peace

No one would take anything personal if one would simply stop making it personal in the first place. Sometimes it might be hard to realize that.

I do not think it is all right for me to "get a few jabs in", and I would like for you to demonstrate where I have done so. It isn't a matter of not being able to take anything that comes directed at me, but the simple fact that such is not appropriate for this forum and it should not have to be addressed.

Yes indeed, it has everything to do with my having a very sensitive personality and nothing to do with intentional misconduct. Ohh my emotions I can't handle it, I'm soooooo sensitive!

Oh, yeah, I'll get right on that.
 Peace.

Prohibition is a blatant contradiction to God's law, and thus I choose to cheerfully ignore it.

Can you make one post without using the emoticon?

I try to refrain, but yet.... I... struggle.... 
Honestly, I think it is time that we enact a restriction on the smileys that one uses and the frequency that one uses them. One would think that people could find more substantial things to nitpick over, but I guess they truly are that bored? 
Wait, damn it! I expressed myself with a gramelin again!
Oh shit! 
Could it be that there simply isn't a sense of humor around here anymore? If one's spirituality is such that they take themselves that seriously, then their spirituality sucks.
 Peace.

I feel the same way about your nitpicky tattletelling whiney baby fit throwing emotionally insecure morality, if you can call it morality.
But I still write replies.
You say people should be able to take your emoticons, thast exactly what I say about you not being able to take my little jabs. Its no different. When your favorite emoticon is "sneer" it says something about yourself. You know who else likes to sneer right after he says something sneakily insulting. President Bush. Thats sort of guy you come off as. Unwavering stubborn and hippocritical. I doubt its who you really are, but thats how you come off man. Peace

What does this have to do with "my" spirituality?
It's not so much that you use emoticons as virtually everyone does, but how you use them. You laugh at people mid-argument all the time, as if trying to puff your feathers up.
There was also no need to say my "spirituality sucks" as it wasn't even being dicussed.

Smileys should be banned from this forum... especially that damned smirk smiley. Everytime I see that thing I want to punch a hole through my computer.

the winks are fine, but I have to agree that you look like your laughing at people when you use the smirk Fireworks. Its because its not words like all our ideas are expressed, which of course is what you are laughing at since laughing at a person is against teh rules that you like so much , but they are little faces which is a personal touch. Which is also the point of they emoticons, but in this forum personal attacks are banned. Cant you see why someone draws that conclusion from your smirks man?

There's no rule against laughing or smirking when expressing your opinion of other people's ideas. What is against the rules is making personal references to other posters' invidual qualities.
i.e. OK to say " that idea is completely ridiculous!"
Not OK to say "__________ (insert name of person who just said your idea was ridiculous) is a big fat crybaby, whiny tattletale, with no morals and a pea-sized brain."
Clearer? Perhaps it will require more experience for the concepts to jell.

WOW WOW WOW WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS................. 
I think you should tell us where this backwater place is and we should all show up and get drunk in the city park.
Your post bothers me so much I gonna get drunk now and ask God to get himself a beer, the nerve of him to only allow one store to sell beer. What would satan say about this 
Hey I would bet a lot of money that this one store is owned by the same family that owns the church................Greedy Bastards

Not really. While attacking or negatively addressing an individual in this forum is not appropriate, expressing one's personality and thoughts is great. I feel that I am an aware individual who takes a mostly optimistic, amused interpretation of reality. I find a lot of symbolic and sarcastic humor in life. I express that with emoticons. I feel that written expression in itself, through this medium, does not convey much. I simply put a little extra effort into it.
What's the big deal, eh? 
 Peace.

Please demonstrate how this is so.
Typically, you use the "lol" emoticon to express disdain for other people's ideas. Not that there is anything wrong with this fireworks, but there are probably more intelligent ways of saying "your ideas are absurd" than this:

Yes, you did. As you said it yourself, "then your spirituality sucks".

But are there more intelligent ways to express laughter? That is all I'm interested in. 
Quote:

Let us roll through this one more time, eh?
First off, I didn't say "then your spirituality sucks", as you incorrectly quoted. I stated "If one's spirituality is such that they take themselves that seriously, then their spirituality sucks. ".
Are you aware of what an if/then statement is? I only referred to your spirituality if your spirituality is such that you take yourself that seriously. If one is without a sense of humor, then their spirituality sucks.
You continue to assert that I am referring to your spirituality, which simply must mean that you feel that you lack that much of a sense of humor? If so, then I feel sorry for you. 
 Peace.
